When i press "e" to talk to him, he just says "What are you doing there " or sth like that, nothing else, and i cannot do anything. But thank you for all your help anyways :) i cannot load a save, because i have played so much since this and that would delete my progress. I will just wait until i go to this fort again with the official quest (i got there randomly). May Talos protect you all from the Thalmor!

Yikes. I think that information was missing but that would be it... quest triggers are inactive because the quest has not started. Go figure.
